Fire and Frost

by Hannah Lizette   May 19, 2012


As I crumble to the floor,
black stains smear my cheeks,
praying for no more.

A disease with no cure,
drowning in your lust,
swimming faster to your heart.

Heavy pressure weighing down,
my cement is cracking,
bulldozing to my fears.

Lava boiling through my veins,
tempers flaring,
my heart bursts through my chest.

Flaming fire,
beating rapidly,
you squeeze it,
shatter it like glass.

Lifeless,
frost has overcome,
bitter and numb.

    This is an excellent piece, I don't know why people haven't been drawn to it...

    I like all of the imagery you have here Hannah. It is beautiful, yet sad at the same time.

    "Heavy pressure weighing down,
    my cement is cracking,
    bulldozing to my fears."

    ^This has to be my favorite part. Your cement is cracking...the cement around your heart? Not saying that your heart is cement, but like you have something to protect it? Or is it the facade that you apparently used beforehand?

    Interesting poem. There is a lot of imagery, emotion, and different meanings, at least to me.

    Excellent
    5/5

  • Described your pain and anger masterfully. Great choice of words, good imagery and I like at the ending how you've describe (though briefly) the end of your rage... How you just feel numb as though perhaps your words have not sunk in, you regret what you have said or done or simply because you really hate hurting (or being hurt by) the person you love.
    Splendid! 5/5
